Have you noticed in vBulletin how sticky threads appear like
Sticky: Thread Subject
?

Well, this is also possible in MyBB. First, take a backup of forumdisplay.php and global.lang.php incase something happens and you need to revert to the old files.

Now, open ./forumdisplay.php and find

PHP Code:

if($thread['sticky'] == "1" && !$donestickysep)
        {
            eval("\$threads .= \"".$templates->get("forumdisplay_sticky_sep")."\";");
            $shownormalsep = true;
            $donestickysep = true;
        }
        else if($thread['sticky'] == 0 && $shownormalsep)
        {
            eval("\$threads .= \"".$templates->get("forumdisplay_threads_sep")."\";");
            $shownormalsep = false;
        } 

Now, add below

PHP Code:

if($thread['sticky'])
        {
            $prefix = $lang->sticky_prefix;
        } 

Now, in your ./inc/languages/english/global.lang.php

find

PHP Code:

$l['poll_prefix'] = "Poll:"; 

and add below that

PHP Code:

$l['sticky_prefix'] = "<em><strong>Sticky:</strong></em> 

";

Where you see

Quote:<em><strong>Sticky:</strong></em>

replace with whatever you want in HTML format and now when looking at a forum, all the important stickied threads will appear as Sticky: Subject

I'm guessing this will work for both 1.6 and 1.4 correct? And thank you for the tutorial, I was trying to figure something like this out and this gave me the right idea

I think it should, I will confirm it tomorrow however since I have no school xD

Yes, it'll work for both 1.6 and 1.4.
